Dear Patient:
We are delighted to share with you news about growth at EvergreenHealth Cardiology Care that will ensure you have access to the full continuum of cardiology services when you are in our care.
To continue to provide cardiac electrophysiology consultation at our clinic, we have expanded our strategic relationship with the cardiology practice at Virginia Mason Medical Center. Beginning January 4, 2013, Dr. Christopher Fellows of Virginia Mason’s Heart Institute will be at our clinic two days a week. He will provide the same type of services that had been provided by Dr. Derek Rodrigues, who has now left our practice.
Dr. Fellows is well known throughout this region as an outstanding specialist in diagnostic cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, rhythm management, and pacemaker implantation. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine with a subspecialty in cardiovascular disease and holds a certificate of added qualification in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. He is a graduate of Oregon Health Sciences, performed his internship and residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, and had fellowships in cardiology and electrophysiology at the University of Washington Medical Center. He joined the medical staff of Virginia Mason in 1986 and is a fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society.
While Dr. Fellows is the latest addition to our team, we would like to introduce other team members who have recently joined us. Dr. Chris Price, MD, FACC, comes to us from the Everett Clinic in Everett, Washington where he has been practicing cardiology for the past 10 years. Dr. Price trained at Creighton University Medical School in Omaha, Nebraska, and completed his internship and residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.
Laurie Niernberg, ARNP, was a Critical Care nurse for 10 years before completing her Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner degree at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. Jason Montemayor, PA-C, was an emergency room nurse at Virginia Mason prior to completing his training as a Physician Assistant at the University of Washington. Laurie and Jason join our mid-level team; Irina Penev, PAC, Adam Gilbert, PAC, Rachel Maas, ARNP, Julie Young ARNP, and Randi Leonetti, ARNP.
With those introductions, our clinic now includes 10 cardiologists; Bill Getchell, MD, Bob Haynes, MD, Ed Kim, MD, Rubin Maidan, MD, Chris Price, MD, Jim Schneider MD, Mark Vossler, MD, Cynthia Warner, MD, Rachael Wyman, MD and Harry Yu, MD, 7 mid-level providers and our 5 Virginia Mason colleagues; Mike Longo, MD; two cardio-thoracic surgeons, Mark Hill, MD and Gautam Velamoor, MD; nurse practitioner, Elizabeth Davis, ARNP; and Dr. Fellows.
Our team of physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants provides a full continuum of care and allows you better access to a complete range of cardiology services. To arrange an appointment with any of our providers, please call 425-899-0555.
